An increasing number of users are interested inXhorse Key Reader, and asked some questions that Xhorse engineer think It is necessary to make an answer in this article so that more people are familiar with this device.

Question 1. why experts develop Xhorse Key Reader?

Answer: well the reader has three significant features:

1. It is able to identify aluminum keys, plastic keys as well as metal keys. Aluminum keys and plastic keys are not supported in key cutting machines and it’s a big troublesome to get the bitting code, so key reader greatly compensates for that.

2. Probe breaking can be avoided using key reader.

3. Xhorse Key Reader is much more accurate and faster than taking a photo to identify key data.

Question 2. Will key reader work on APP?

Answer: Sure, you can either use your smartphone or key cutting machines likeDolphin XP-005or use a key cutting machine with green such asCondor XC-Mini Plus/XP-005Lto copy a key.

By smartphone, you can obtain key bitting and cut a key with a key cutting machine. By using key cutting machines with screens, you can directly cut the key with simple clicks on the machine.

Question 3. doesXhorse Blade Skimmersupport edge cut keys?

Answer: yes we’ll demonstrate the process.

Just insert the key and click "identification” on the screen.

Job is done, it is very easy, right?

Question 4. does Xhorse Key Reader identify HU162T?

Answer: HU162T decoder is mainly for VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda cars.

Though it’s special with 3 sides, it is metal keys. So, for sure key reader is able to identify it.

Question 5. Does Xhorse Key Reader identify Honda keys?

Answer: definitely, it’s acknowledged that Honda keys tend to wear off easily.

yet you can still acquire accurate key bitting results with key reader.

‘

Question 6. Does Xhorse Key Reader support plastic / aluminum keys?

Answer: sure, that’s the biggest advantage of this tool.

Question 7. how much is Xhorse Key Reader and when will it be available?

Answer: for the price, Xhorse will set a list price for the product global, for example, Key Reader retails at $350, and for the varied country, it takes a varied amount of time for the device to be shipped. It is suggested to contact your area dealer for detailed purchase info, i.e

6). ACDP often cracks out both SWFLs in the FEM BDC, without SWFL no ignition, without ignition no flashing of the SWFL .. Furthermore, the ACDP often screwed downgrade from the CAS3. So does vvdi and other BMW programmemrs.

7). the only problem that i used to have with mini acdp is when making Keys for CAS4/4+. And thats why I always make backup with VVDI before even connecting mini acdp to CAS4.

Problem: Turned on myAutel MaxiSys Pro MS908Ptoday and purchasedone-year subscriptionservice and did some update, but it still said my subscription is expired, actually it doesn’t expire until October 10th, 2022, how to solve the problem?

Autel chief engineer replied:

Please click on "Cancel” to see if it can download and update, if not please upload log via MaxiTool and Autel tech will reach you.

What about other users’ experiences:

Generally speaking, do a full factory reset on your tool before your subscription expires to refresh your Maxisys line tools (Maxisys MS906,MS906BT, MS908P,Elite, MS909 etc). Also use a 32 GB SD card to expand internal storage. Part of the problem is your tool has run out of memory.

1. How to do Factory Reset?

If not expired, you should connect your Autel MaxiSys Pro device to any laptop using the black usb cable and after the laptop detect the usb driver, turn off usb and unplug the cable, reset your device and try again.

2. Use a 32 GB SD card to expand internal storage

Firstly, to create a backup, simply insert the Micro SD card into your tool and open the base screen (not the diagnostic application). Then open ES File Explorer. There you will find two instances of SD Cards. Open the internal drive, usually label "SD_CARD” or similar. Hold your finger on "SCAN” to bring up lower menu. Select copy. Now open the external SD card, label "EXT_SD” or similar.

Paste the copy of "SCAN” here. Depending on model of scan tool this can take up to 3 hours. Once this is done, remove the SD card and store it somewhere safe where it will not be damaged. It is very small so store it somewhere you’re not going to forget it.

Now take the second 32 GB card, insert it into your Autel/Auro tool and repeat the above process. Leave this one in your tool after backup. Update this once a month until your subscription expires, swap with the other backup, repeat.

Now you don’t have to stress it when something crashes.

The Autel line of tools will only recognize up to 32 GB Micro SD Cards. We highly recommend buying this pair of 2x 32 GB Micro SD cards to create redundant backups in case of file corruption.

Alright, if Autel MaxiSys Pro software subscription is actually expired, here is 1 Year Software Subscription Total Care Program:

To view the information about when theAutel Maxisysdevice expires, the user can see directly on the device:

1. Support APP>>My Account>>Expire Date;
2. Update APP>>Renew

Look at the Autel Maxisys Pro device image below, it is said software license has expired. You have to renew license.

Is it necessary to pay for the update?

Updates are to fix existing problems, new car functions and system functions.

If you think the updates are too much, you have the wrong scanner, or need to make more money. And I see others who don’t update them, and they don’t do certain functions, and are slow as hell.

Autel Maxisys Elite One Year Software Subscription

And more:

Autel Maxisys MS908 One Year Software Subscription

Autel Maxisys Pro MS908P/ MK908P/ MS908S Pro 1 Year Software Subscription Total Care Program

Q: Can I update early if I have the card or will the subscription update start today?

Q: My Maxisys says software subscription is expired but it actually does not expired.

A: Do a full factory reset on your tool before your subscription expires to refresh your tool. Also use a 32 GB SD card to expand internal storage. Part of the problem is your tool has run out of memory.

Q: if the online programming and coding continues to work after the subscription expires?

A: No, needs to current for it to work.
